Command Analysis
Vilafranquense
PortugalCurrent form
ABC approached the start of the season as one of the obvious candidates for relegation from the Primeira Liga – in terms of player selection, today hosts are inferior to many competitors. However, Laniel Ramos' team does not give the impression of a hopeless outsider and occupies 15th place in the table with 13 points. There is a modest gap of one point from the transitional matches zone, so there is a risk of aggravating the situation today. Having drawn a goalless draw with Boavista in the last round, ABC extended their winless streak to eight matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lucas Moura is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- ABC have not won in their last eight matches – four defeats and four draws
- ABC have scored in two of their last three matches
Estimated line-up: Simao - Rodrigues, Castro, Roux - Ferreira, Leo, Silva, Kiki - Lopes, Nene, Piazon.
Estrela da Amadora
PortugalCurrent form
"Estrela" was also among the potential candidates for relegation from Primeira before the start of the season, but was certainly not a clear outsider. In the first round, Luis Silva team has had more than enough problems and is currently only in 12th place in the table. The "tricolors" are only three points ahead of the direct relegation zone, and this handicap can be lost at the end of the round. In the last match of the championship, "Estrela" beat "Rio Ave" 1:0, thus achieving their fourth victory of the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ferro and Lopes are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Estrela have won two of their last three matches
- Estrela have scored in two of their last three matches
Probable line-up: Bruno - Lima, Drame, Thiago, Travassos - Jesus, Cordeiro, Lopes, Ruiz, Andre - Kikas.

1.29Tip and bets
ABC is not showing its best game yet, but at the same time it looks quite decent on its home field and regularly takes points, not losing in the last rounds to such serious opponents as Benfica and Boavista. It is obvious that today the hosts will also be determined and it is unlikely that Estrela has a chance to stay clean, but at the same time the “tricolors” have a serious advantage in class and will certainly respond.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Forecast - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.95
Bet on the outcome
ABC has not won for a long time, but at the same time, its game does not look hopeless and not long ago it managed to take points from a motivated Benfica at home. It is obvious that today ABC also has plans for points, Estrela does not give the impression of a powerful and invincible opponent. At the same time, it will be difficult to snatch all three points, the "three-colored" have many experienced players, and a draw in general will suit both sides quite well.
Bet - Draw. This bet is offered for 3.25
Bet on corners
ABC will most likely play first at home and will spend a lot of time in attacks – the hosts should win confidently in the corners.
Bet - ABC win on corners. This bet is offered for 1.95
